On the banks of the river, facing the city of Wangjiang.

Chen Changsheng, wearing a straw hat to shield himself from the sun, was fishing by the river, as still as a sculpture.

Wang Jiayun, with a graceful figure, sat leaning against a shady and enchanting fruit tree, smiling as she watched his back.

The glamorous and romantic life of Wangjiang City had gradually become tiresome. Chen Changsheng had grown tired of the books in the teahouses and the seductive dances in the flower houses. The girls in the brothels couldn't arouse the slightest interest in him. Despite the variety of beauties, they couldn't compare to the tenderness and warmth of Lady Wang.

Chen Changsheng had experienced the bustling life of the city and eventually joined the ranks of the fishermen.

No wonder there were so many forms of entertainment in the past, yet the number of fishermen continued to increase. Now he finally understood and became one of them in the army.

Questioning the fishermen, understanding the fishermen, becoming a fisherman!

The scorching sun in the afternoon was glaring and hot. Occasionally, there would be a splash as a big fish leaped out of the tranquil river. Chen Changsheng enjoyed the process of fishing, and memories of the past flooded his mind, as if he had become a spectator of time.

Splash!

The fishing rod suddenly exerted force. Chen Changsheng's eyes flickered as he immediately pulled the fishing rod, skillfully maneuvering it. He caught a six-pound fat fish.

Wang Jiayun clapped her hands at the right moment, exclaiming and praising, greatly satisfying Chen Changsheng's vanity.

"What a big fish! We'll have a feast tonight."

"It almost got away. Let's catch some shrimp and crabs tomorrow. Eating fish every day is getting boring."

"Yes, we'll listen to the young master."

Satisfied, Chen Changsheng put the fish into a cage and prepared to leave. Suddenly, his eyes became sharp, and he pulled Wang Jiayun behind him.

Ding!

He raised his hand and instantly caught an arrow that shot towards him. The cold breath froze half of his palm in an instant.

"Young master! Are you alright?" Wang Jiayun was frightened by the sudden turn of events and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"Cultivating both the body and the law? Quite interesting."

At this moment, a faint laughter came.

Following the source of the sound, they saw a handsome man in white holding a longbow, standing on the edge of the city wall.

Bursting with energy, the crimson lightning condensed in Chen Changsheng's palm, instantly dissolving the frost on his hand.

After seeing the other person's appearance, Wang Jiayun suddenly exclaimed, "Big brother!? You're back!"

Big brother?

Chen Changsheng was momentarily stunned, but then he realized.

This was the cultivator who had emerged from the Wang family, Wang Jiayun's older brother!

Wang Lu smiled and nodded, floating down. "I've heard about what happened at home. I thought the person protecting my sister was an Apex Level Martial Artist, but I didn't expect it to be a Fellow Daoist from the Immortal Cultivation World. I am Wang Lu."

"I am Chen Changsheng. Please enlighten me."

Chen Changsheng clasped his hands and spoke calmly.

Although the arrow just now had no killing intent, being inexplicably attacked still made him unhappy. Even if you are Wang Jiayun's brother, it's the same.

"Big brother! Since you know that Chen Gongzi saved me, why did you still attack and hurt him?" Wang Jiayun was not pleased with her brother's arrival. Instead, she was angered by his sneak attack.

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake." Wang Lu coughed awkwardly. "I just wanted to test Fellow Daoist's abilities. Please don't blame me for the sake of my sister."

Wang Jiayun's mouth curled up, revealing a mischievous smile. "Apologies should be sincere. Chen Gongzi happens to need a storage bag. How about..."

Wang Lu's mouth twitched slightly, suddenly feeling like an outsider.

Helpless, he threw out a small dark blue pouch. "This is my apology. Please accept it, Chen Xiong."

Then he took out a pill from his storage ring and asked, "Did Chen Xiong refine this pill in Jiayun's room?"

"Yes."

Chen Changsheng took the storage bag and nodded, relieved by the other party's attitude.

From the opponent's cultivation aura, it could be determined that Wang Lu was a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator. With his strength, there was no need for him to be so polite to Chen Changsheng, but he still chose to apologize.

As for the pill, it was a Youth-Retaining Pill that Chen Changsheng casually refined. It had remarkable effects on skin maintenance, allowing mortals to maintain a youthful appearance until the day they died.

Wang Lu's eyes brightened upon hearing this, showing an expression of confirmation. "Fellow Daoist is actually an Alchemist. Are you interested in becoming the Chief Pill Refiner of my Zhan Yue Sect?"

There aren't many cultivators willing to put effort into alchemy. Either they have exceptional talent in alchemy and treat it as a side job, or they know they have no hope of breakthrough and use alchemy to elevate their status.

"Where is the Zhan Yue Sect?"

"In the Taihang Domain! If you are willing to join the Zhan Yue Sect, you can cultivate within the sect."

"I have no intention of leaving Wangjiang City for now, let alone leaving the Moon Forest Domain," Chen Changsheng shook his head.

Traveling all the way to the Immortal Cultivation World, isn't that tiresome? He is only at the second level of Qi Refining!

Wang Lu was momentarily stunned, then solemnly said, "Brother Chen, you don't know that the spiritual energy here is thin. Staying in the mortal realm for a long time may cause a regression in cultivation. Going to the cultivation world not only provides abundant spiritual energy but also countless opportunities."

However, Chen Changsheng just waved his hand, adopted a lazy posture, and walked towards the city with a cage and fishing rod.

"I am just an ordinary talent. I have no expectations of achieving great things."

"Brother Chen, you... sigh!" Wang Lu had an expression of frustration, then gritted his teeth and said, "If you give up on yourself like this, I can't entrust my sister to you!"

These words caused both Chen Changsheng and Wang Jiayun to pause.

Wang Jiayun blushed and stuttered, "B-brother, what... what are you saying?"

Wang Lu glanced at his charming sister and sneered, "You can deceive the Wang family, but you can't deceive me."

His sister is filled with Chen Changsheng's aura!

No one would believe that they have no deeper relationship.

Chen Changsheng smiled calmly and said, "Brother Wang, your threats are useless to me."

A mortal can never restrain his footsteps because his lifespan is there.

A hundred years later, Wang Jiayun will be buried in the ground, while Chen Changsheng will still be young and handsome.

After a hundred years of companionship, he will go to other cities and witness different beautiful scenery, and meet different young talents.

"Don't you want to take responsibility for my sister?"

Wang Lu's face was filled with anger, and he had the urge to draw his sword.

Chen Changsheng shook his head and smiled, "The one who severed our relationship was you, Brother Wang. How did it become that I don't want to take responsibility?"

You made me leave, and you also made me responsible. What exactly do you want?

Wang Lu's expression froze, realizing that he had fallen into the other party's rhythm.

Before he could think of a retort, Chen Changsheng spoke again, "Here's the deal. I'm willing to become the Chief Pill Refiner of the Zhan Yue Sect, but for now, I won't return to the sect with you. I will prioritize selling the pills I refine to the sect's disciples."

"Since you visit Wangjiang City to see your family every once in a while, you can also take the pills I refine with you. It's a win-win situation."

Joining the Zhan Yue Sect has more benefits than drawbacks. Not only does he gain a background and foothold in the Immortal Cultivation World, but he also gains a way to sell pills.

Perhaps after Wang Jiayun leaves, he will go to the Zhan Yue Sect and experience the Immortal Cultivation World for the first time.

As for the honor of the sect, that thing can't bind him either.

The beauty will turn into a pile of bones, and the sect will become historical dust. Only I will endure throughout eternity!
